About Me
A dedicated, experienced Educator and Facilitator with a strong background in project management, report writing, international and digital education. My passion lies in helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve growth and success. With a blend of leadership expertise, coaching skills and planning, I am committed to empowering others to reach their full potential. I maintain enhanced disclosure on the DBS update service for current and prospective roles. I’ve worked in school and online settings, plus developed and delivered programmes. As such, I understand end to end course cycles, assessments and individual learning styles.
Currently I am a Specialist ASC Mentor supporting Autistic Spectrum students online and in person (one to one, weekly sessions). This is highly individual in scope, depending on student needs, also covering academic, social, wellbeing and organisation support.
Outside of tutoring, I have taken part in photography exhibitions in Seoul, mainly of documentary photography and graphic design.
My teaching style
My teaching style is highly tailored, creative and holistic. I am adept at incorporating individual learning styles and interests into strucured academic curricula. I work with Autistic University students and several GCSE level students, especially in understanding academic essays, corsework and exam questions.
My past experience
Many years experience as a classroom teacher of English in international settings.
My Proudest Achievements
Raising the English attainment of over 100 Hong Kong students so that Year 1- Yr 4 surpassed their peers in Yr 5 and 6 across all four English skills, though attending my programme.
